Horoscopes Signs for BG3
People would guess the alignments for them, yet how about their zodiac astrology? What do you feel matches them the most,, whether it's just the companions or anyone else in the game so far.

You are correct. No one cares about astrology.

Obsession with astrology, energy chrystals, chakras or whatever other flavour of new-age ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is no substitute for an acutal personality btw. All it does is ensure that anyone of substance, who might have something interesting to tell you, won't want to get anywhere near you. Do something more useful with your life...
And yes, I am genuinely annoyed by this stuff. So many interesting things to do and see, and some peabrains waste this much effort on believing literal Harry Potter magic is real -.-

Glad to hear it. Any belief in a pseudoscience, whether it be astrology, faith healing, or palm reading cannot be arrived at rationally. That which can be asserted without evidence, can just as easily be dismissed.

This thread is clearly bait for me. 😂 Well done, Wes.

When I'm out of it again maybe I will contemplate their sun signs. I'll give a sneak peek tho.

Wyll is probably a Leo Rising but a Libra Sun. He comes off as this specific personality, but in truth he has identity issues. He needs to stop being what he thinks people want him to be and start connecting with who he truly is. What a combination to be a Leo Rising and have the Sun in fall. He's constantly anchoring his personality on others, whether it's his father or Mizora or Tav.

He's also willing to get into contracts/relationships/factions (Libra) and sell his soul (the heart of the sun/Leo) in order to become something better than himself. I also suspect out of all the characters, Wyll is the one that the player character will have the most character influence to push to good or evil.

Libras also want YOU to say FOR them what THEY want to do. The Spike scene? Case-in-point. He's also capable of extreme vengeance (Leo) but extreme forgiveness (Libra). When he leaves the party at Very Low Approval its really touching.

Maybe you haven't noticed,, but nearly all of my topics have "bait" specifically for you.

And now that I have your attention,, could you please allow me back into your soap group again?? I got some very important news to tell everyone,, especially to War Maiden because of reasons I won't say here.

Sorry if this wasn't the response you expected,, yet believe me you'll understand why I'm being this way today on the forum.

Setting the cringe factor aside...

Astrology in the Earthly sense doesn't exist on Faerün, because that world doesn't even have the same constellations as Earth does, so it's wholly unapplicable and irrelevant.

Now, it might have some Forgotten Realms analog, but I've never looked too deeply into Forgotten Realms astrology.

Put simply, no one from that world has any chance of being any of the Zodiac signs because they have a completely different set of stars/sky than we do.

The apple fell far from the tree.

For somebody who was raised by those who enjoyed talking about zodiac signs,, I thought you of all people would of had fun with this.

Aren't you also a Libra like me,, so who do you feel is one in BG3?? How about pretending that the characters had the same star/sky like us instead.

What kind of simp exactly,, since there's various types ya know? For example there was nine types in anime that are discussed on this video. 👈

PS : show off your zodiac sign knowledge to God Queen 158,, which I'm sure your parents passed on to you?? Regardless how much you likely hated it,, it's probably a part of you forever lol.

I guess I haven't done enough to be considered a "cool kid" in your club again?? Well what must I do,, because I need to tell you guys this news incase something happens to me.

How about if the news isn't worthy & cool in your eyes,, then you can kick me out immediately!

No.

Faerün may or may not have it's own system of astrology (I don't know as I've never thought too hard about it), but if it did, it would be based on it's own constellations, not ours, because that's literally how astrology works.

Wyll cannot be a Libra, or a Scorpio, or a Leo, or any other sign of the Zodiak, because those constellations don't exist in the Faerünian sky.

As someone who grew up with two New Age hippies for parents - a mother who loved Tarot and astrology, and a step-father who who was a "Christian white magician" and lover of astrology as well - and was exposed to everything from Madame Blavatsky to Aliester Crowley to Carlos Castaneda - I can say that while I detest this kind of piddle in the real world, it's absolutely Wizard in a fantasy game!

One of the coolest parts of Ultima was how you chose your class by answering sets of questions from cards that were very Tarot-like being thrown by a fortune teller at the beginning of the game.

If there's a place for this kind of crap, a fantasy game is the perfect place for it!

My point is that the Earthly Zodiak literally doesn't apply because those stars do not exist in Faerün, and astrology is entirely dependent upon the stars.

Faerün has to have it's own unique astrology or none at all.

This is why I said on my topic,, "What do you feel matches them the most?"

Do you think GQ cared if the stars were the same as Faerun's or not?? Why do you care this much about realism,, especially if you "detest this kind of piddle" anyways? So why not make fun of it,, & put those zodiac signs on whoever you feel fits these fake characters from Larian.

The intention of this topic was to have fun with it and maybe get a comment from GQ,, even if it's wrong or ridiculous! Yet here you are being a party pooper about it.

You're usually quite a fun person that I even looked up too as a fellow Libra! 🍻🥳 This is your wheelhouse Mr. Pan Darius Kairos,, where we can have a fun discussion with GQ? I can imagine you two finally bonding over something now lol.

Maybe she'll even find you worthy to join the soap group too. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/mysoaps

Soooooo what zodiac sign do you feel match the most with every companion?? I'm still patiently waiting for some answers,, & was the main goal that I wanted to get from this topic,, since you're the expert.

Was it always that way,, or did something happen that changed everything? *looks at Vixzian.*

I doubt that there would be zodiac signs when upper and lower planes exist as part of the cosmology.

People are likely a lot less interested in what the stars say about them than they are about a demon or a devil coming into their lives because the adventure happens to be in or near their home town, or the goblins and the gnolls raiding the village, or the lich and his undead army invading the kingdom or whatever.

There's actually a diagram for how the planes fit in the cosmos in relation to each other.

Someone made a fan-made astrology system based on the dnd calendar. https://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/astrol.shtml Pretty cool!
